This is according to the latest report by the Media Foundation for West Africa’s (MFWA) media ethics monitoring project which is aimed at encouraging people to be measured in their use of language by naming and shaming those who use abusive languages on media airwave.

A member of the NPP communication team Hopeson Adoye and a member of the National Labour Party (NLP) Listowel Nana Poku topped the list of individuals who used intemperate languages during the month of July with 5 indecent comments each.
